Administrative History
The Southern California Rainbow Society of the Deaf (SCRSD) was formed
in June 1977, at a meeting of 22 people at the home of Bob Wickham and Bob
Miller in Sherman Oaks, California. SCRSD later joined the Rainbow Alliance of
the Deaf, the national organization for deaf members of the GLBT community, and
hosted the Alliance's 1993 national conference.
Scope and Content of Collection
The collection contains administrative records, including the
constitution and by-laws, minutes, membership and chapter address lists, and
newsletters of the Southern California Rainbow Society of the Deaf (SCRSD), the
Los Angeles chapter of the Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf (RAD), from 1977 to
1979. The collection also contains national Alliance and other regional chapter
newsletters, 1977-1979.
